SCRIPTURE

"Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory." — Psalms 73:24 (ASV)

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel — With Your advice; with Your teaching. This implies two things:

  1. his belief that God would do this, despite his folly; and
  2. his purpose that God should be his guide now.

He would no longer murmur or complain, but would entrust all to God, and allow himself to be led as God should be pleased to direct him.

And afterward receive me to glory — After You have led me along the path of the present life in the way in which You would have me to go, You will then receive me to Yourself in heaven — to a world where all will be clear; where I will never have any doubts regarding Your being, the justice of Your dispensations, or the principles of Your government.
